removal statistics. (a) After the last session of the registrars of voters under section 9-17 before each election, the registrars of voters in each municipality shall submit in
writing to the Secretary of the State a statement setting forth the total number of names
of new electors added to the registry list, and the total number of names of former electors
removed from the registry list, in such municipality during the period between the two
most recent such last sessions. Such statement shall be submitted annually at a time to
be determined by the Secretary of the State. In municipalities divided into two voting
districts that elect registrars of voters for each district, such statement shall be so submitted by the registrars of voters of the first district.
(b) Not later than a week after the last session of the registrars of voters before an
election under section 9-17, the Secretary of the State shall issue a report on the total
number of electors on the active and inactive registry list, the total number of electors
enrolled on each active and inactive party enrollment list and the total number of unaffiliated electors on the active and inactive registry list in such municipality, as reported
by the registrars of voters on the state-wide centralized voter registration system. The
Secretary shall omit from such report electors on the last-completed registry list or
enrollment lists who have died, but shall include electors who have acquired electoral
or enrollment privileges since the last-completed registry list or enrollment lists were
perfected.
